> Sir Isaac Pitman, the inventor of shorthand
And, apparently, also the inventor of time travel—we know that various forms of shorthand have existed since antiquity.

Apparently the ⁊ symbol is still used in Scotland and Ireland today in place of "&". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tironian_notes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tironian_notes
